Ghosts in the Attic by Mark Allan Gunnells

Mark Allan Gunnells’ Ghost in the Attic is a new collection
of short stories released from Bad Moon Books and Evil Jester Press. I would categorize the collection as more
darkly supernatural as opposed to straight up horror as a whole, though at no
point did I feel Gunnells was writing with kid gloves and worried about going too
far.

The most impressive element from the stories in Ghosts in
the Attic as whole was the successful combination of eerie atmospheres and
genuinely deep emotional characters. Gunnells
writes with a sincerity, that almost feels old fashioned in our world of meta
humor and ironic winking.

If you like old school style supernatural horror without
restraint in the content I would strongly recommend Ghosts in the Attic.
